Changelog - v0.4.0

This release introduces new tools related to sprite stacking, ‘3D’ preview capabilities and a new shading tool for efficient color work.

Shading Tool

A new shading tool inspired by Aseprite’s shading ink:

• Select multiple colors from your palette to form a gradient
• Left-click shifts pixels towards the darker end of the gradient
• Right-click shifts pixels towards the lighter end
• Colors not in the gradient are ignored
• Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+B

3D Preview Modes

The preview panel now supports two new view modes:

• Sprite Stack - View your layers as a 3D stack with drag-to-rotate interaction. Configure layer spacing, rotation, and tilt angle.
• Voxel Mode - Render your pixel art as 3D voxels with two styles:
  • Cubes: Full 3D rendering with Three.js
  • Pixel Art Projection: 2D isometric-style rendering

Both modes support configurable lighting, grid floor, and orthographic/perspective camera options. Access settings via the gear icon in the preview panel.

Turntable Export

Export your artwork as a rotating animation:

• New “Model” export type in the export dialog
• Generate turntable frames with configurable angle step
• Supports both pixel art projection and sprite stack renderers
• Creates a new board with the generated animation frames

Multi-Cel Selection

Enhanced timeline selection for working across multiple cels:

• Click and drag to select multiple cels across layers and frames
• Transform operations now work on all selected cels
• Arrow keys navigate through the cel grid (Left/Right for frames, Up/Down for layers)

Improvements

• Layer reordering is now tracked in history (full undo/redo support)
• Shift+click on layer visibility icon to solo a layer (hides all other layers)
• Solid background backdrop behind focused board (toggle with \ key)
• Layer tag color picker moved to a portal for better positioning
• Updated example assets on landing page
• Improved analytics infrastructure

Bug Fixes

• Fixed file formats not displaying in export dialogs
• Fixed various lint and type check errors
